Here is what I found with a group search. Brett posted this in his message and you really do get the most information by reading up about the details on the website. Here it is again: http://www.RadioThermostat.com You can buy the thermostat right on the website by going to the "Buy Now" link. The price is $139, Brett said in his post he bougtht his from Home Depot for $99 and as I mentioned, you can also find this on Amazon: Amazon.com: Homewerks Radio Thermostat CT-30-H-K2 Wireless Thermostat with Wi-Fi Module, Dual Wireless Inputs and Touch Screen http://www.amazon.com/Homewerks-Thermostat-CT-30-H-K2-Wireless-Module... 4YZFU1Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 <http://www.amazon.com/Homewerks-Thermostat-CT-30-H-K2-Wireless- Module... 04YZFU1Q/ref=sr_1_1? ie=UTF8&qid=1343962818&sr=8-1&keywords=ct30+thermostat> &qid=1343962818&sr=8-1&keywords=ct30+thermostat If the link wraps and doesn't work, just search on Amazon for "CT30 WiFi Thermostat" and you'll find it. The price on Amazon varies, when I just checked it was available for $125 with free shipping. And yes, the app is accessible and in the most recent update the ability to set up schedules right from the app was added. Regards, Sieghard
